Following a discussion with Dr. Ted regarding *Real Photographers Shoot Black and White*, he suggested a shout out to the group on my book about the Formula One races through the streets of Detroit back in the 1980s. The book was published by Bull Publishing, a respected motorsports book publishing house, and the quality of photo reproduction is excellent. All photos in the book are black and white, and a few were shot with an M4P and 35 Summicron. The early years, 1982 to '85, were shot in Tri-X while the last few years were shot on color neg film. All color negs were printed in black and white. It shows the city in quite a different light from the recent Magnum series on the city...but it was more than 20 years ago, and there was considerably more hope in the city then. Here's a link to the publisher's site: http://www.bullpublishing.com/shop/item.asp?itemid=79 If anyone would like an autographed copy, send me a note. Roger Hart, managing editor AutoWeek Detroit
